Happy Hibiscus

It's ages since I've played along with a challenge just for fun, and today I'm playing along at The Curtain Call, where the challenge is Hibiscus.

A little while ago - well, it was back in May, actually - I shared this card, which had been inspired by Michele's card.

Today's card was inspired by another similar card by Michele that she had posted on Instagram here. I made it around the same time, but I wasn't really happy with that version, it was a bit wishy-washy, so I put it to one side, and it's been languishing in there ever since. Here's a photo of it before I revamped it.

I had the brainwave of inking up the stamp with a darker colour, spritzed and stamped to give it more of a focal point. I also added some Pickled Raspberry centres.

Hi Ros, I got it from Port Sunlight, it's from Stamps Away by Clevercut. Here's the link.http://www.clevercut.co.uk/ECatalogue.asp?Parent=&Show=SAGREET&ShowDesc=%3Cb%3EStamps%20Away%3C/b%3E%20-%20Greetings&Page=1

To think I inspired any part of this gorgeousness, is beyond comprehension! LOve every version - you give me too much credit, Shirley - I only used a piece of patterned paper!!! YOU have allowed this to grow into the most gorgeous piece, with a true artist's eye!LOve the finished product! and thank you for bringing me 'into' your craft room, Shirley!xx
